How do you replaced window switches in the console of Mercedes 190 E?
1. Remove ash tray, then remove 2 screws holding ashtray body
in. 2. Push switch panel to rear and lift on the front to remove
switch panel. 3. Unplug switches to completeley remove switch
panel. 4. With a screw driver depress the metal clip at each end of
switch to remove the individual switch from the panel. 5. You then
replace or repair the switch. The switch can be disasembled and
repaired. Be careful not to lose the 2 ball bearings inside the
switch. Remove the 2 brass rocker plates and burnish the contacts.
Then reassemble. Much better than spending 75.00 for new switch
assembly. 6. reassemble in reverse order. You do not need to remove
the ashtray as the window switches are located on the wood insert
around the shifter. Remove the plastic trim ring from around the
shifter. Then carefully lift the wood trim surround that holds the
switches. Becareful not to snap the plastic clips that hold the
switches in place
